The Broncos have agreed to terms with TE Jacob Tamme, according to a league source.

The three-year deal is worth $9 million and has $3.5 million guaranteed.

“Excited to announce I’ll be joining the Denver Broncos & I look forward to getting to work,” Tamme tweeted Friday. “I want to thank Mr. Irsay, the Colts organization, Colts fans, & most of all, my teammates for what has been a great 4 years in Indy.”

Tamme is the second tight end the Broncos reached a deal with Friday, as they also agreed to terms on a deal with ex-Texan Joel Dreessen.

“Added two quality TEs and a good young CB to our roster today,” executive vice president of football operations John Elway wrote on Twitter. “Joel Dreessen, Jacob Tamme and Tracy Porter will make big contributions for us in 2012.”

Niners QB Alex Smith‘s three-year deal does not include a signing bonus and is worth $8 million in 2012 — with a $5 million fully guaranteed base salary, a $3 million roster bonus and another $1.25 million in incentives.

In 2013, he has a guaranteed salary of $7.5 million, with a $1 million roster bonus and another $1.25 million in incentives.

His 2014 base of $7.5 million is not guaranteed. He has another $1.25 million available in incentives in 2014 as well.

The Broncos have met with two of Peyton Manning‘s former teammates, TE Jacob Tamme and C Jeff Saturday, and have interest in signing both, league sources said. But other clubs are pursuing them hard as well.

The Seahawks are very intent on trying to land Tamme (the Seahawks appear in position to spend, having been unable to get a visit with RB Michael Bush, a player they had strong interest in, before he signed with Chicago on Thursday). Saturday had good visits with the Packers and the Titans — teams that are in need of a starting center — and is mulling all three options as of now, according to a league source.

Jets backup QB Drew Stanton is considering asking for a trade or release, according to a league source.

Only a week ago, Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum recruited Stanton to New York to be the Jets’ No. 2 quarterback behind starter Mark Sanchez. Now, with Tim Tebow in town after Wednesday’s trade with the Broncos, sources said those close to Stanton feel lied to and betrayed.

Stanton turned down the chance to explore two other options and also took less money to go to New York because Tannenbaum was unequivocal that the QB was being brought in to be the No. 2 and the team wouldn’t draft or sign any other QBs. Sources also said Tannenbaum acknowledged Stanton, who performed well in occasional relief in Detroit, likely could earn more elsewhere.

Given Sanchez’s struggles and New York’s success over the past few years, Stanton took a $1.75 million deal from the Jets, based on opportunity and fit. With Tebow in tow, that has changed, and discussions between Stanton and the Jets are expected in the coming days.

Given the questions of team chemistry and cohesion the Jets will face, an issue with the No. 3 QB is somewhat minor on the grand scale, but it’s indicative of some of the fallout for this bold move for Tebow.

As the only Saints player named specifically in the NFL’s news release announcing the punishments of Saints personnel involved in the team’s “bounty” program, LB Jonathan Vilma is likely in line for steep discipline, prompting the team to look at free agents who could fill in for the eight-year veteran.

Vilma’s contract and health have been something of a concern. If he ends up missing considerable time, then that’s all the more reason for the team to seek reinforcements.

The Saints have been looking for linebackers. They have been interested inCurtis Lofton in for a visit, and they also brought in David Hawthorne, an outside linebacker.
